Slow Cooker Pot Roast

This is another awesome slow cooker recipe....this time round testing the slow cooker with beef chuck! I managed to get it right after the 2nd attempt. The first time I overcooked the beef as I under-estimated the heat of my slow cooker. For the next tried, I used low heat throughout the cooking process and the beef turned out soft and tender, oozing with sweetness! I've also added more carrots and onions as my boy requested for more of these!

Mix seasoning and vegetables together and placed into the slow cooker

Season the beef chuck evenly and place on top of the vegetables, cover lid and cook!
